Fantasy Fridays: Team Line Up

3000! Yes 3000 hits in a month! We are most definitely back! Www.6ppb.com proudly announces its return into the worldwide web of Information. We present to you news about touch celebrities, their Wives and Girlfriends, scandals as well as the creation of fantasy managerial careers for people who just have nothing better to do. This week we bring to you a Fantasy Friday Special, discussing the surprising increase in 6-pack's popularity, a special bonus Fantasy Round created for 6-pack fans and lastly we take a look inside 6-pack's new training ground.

Fantasy Bonus Round
STL All-Stars vs 6-pack

Despite receiving a bye from the organisers for this weekend, a 6-pack side unwilling to disappoint fans and friends alike, have organised a game against an STL All-Star side, ladened with Touch Singapore Internationals, WAGs and finally Joshua Yap.  Yes that very same Joshua Yap of '3 straight red cards' infamy. 

Now this is a potentially shaping up to be a tricky but truly competitive fixture for a 6-pack side with individuals facing personal battles against:

a) a probable wife-to-be, 

b) girlfriends,

c) aunties

d) competing Fantasy Managers.

Now this could lead to some intense grudge matches and desperate managers seizing the opportunity to earn some much needed fantasy leverage over the top of the heap. 

Grudge Match 1

Lee Yum Hwa vs Xu Xueting

 

Yum and XT in Happier Times

One hundred views in five days, just plainly screams "Grudge Match 1". The one that you've long been waiting for. Who is the better player? Will it be Lee who threw down the gauntlet last weekend declaring to his gf that she's just isn't that good anymore. Or will XT reverse a week of hurt and truly mark her comeback by adding a few tries and reinforcing the growing belief that she is indeed the more skilled one. We will be taking and comparing the stats for this one.

You asked for it
A couple of days ago, an anonymous fan asked for the exact definition of 'Handwork'. While we have tried to oblige by asking XT to provide an explanation. All we managed to squeeze out of her was a feeble excuse that she made a typo and that 'Handwork' was supposed to be 'Hardwork'. Right, yours truly knows better to believe that the letters "R" and "N" are anywhere but close to each other on the keyboard, making the likelyhood of a typo on a keyboard seem highly unlikely and extremely dubious.

She has left us no choice but to put it up to the public to start guessing. For starters, I have searched for a definition. You do the rest.

Kelong! Manager speaks of loose gaps

In an unexpected twist of events, rumours and allegations of match-fixing have just been unceremoniously confirmed by manager, Juriani Saini of Sugarush TFC. Juriani, affectionately known as Ju has been captured on facebook, blurting out that she will position herself 'as a middle' in the upcoming 6 pack versus All-Stars game this weekend(1.20pm), allowing for her fantasy captain to enter and "score in her gaps".

Is she applying the screw to the Fantasy league as well?



Scoring In my gaps

Now if this phrase were to be taken literally, then we think that you're truly in for a helluva treat this weekend. However that takes sheer audacity to do in the middle of the pitch and we can less excitedly presume that JU meant scoring through gaps around her. Nonetheless, the statement must now be considered as overwhelming evidence of foul play.

The fact that the young manager is perched on top of the competition further plagues the fantasy league with increased rumours about how the relatively inexperienced Ju, worked her way up past her colleagues within the first two weeks of the league.

The Caleb Ong Defense

"I did no wrong. I was there because clearly boys being boys they don't carry a water bottle to every game. And girls being beings we are very caring so it's a natural action to offer drinks for the poor boys."-Juriani Saini, 22, youngest female fantasy manager when questioned by members of the press.

Only just a few days ago, Ju's integrity was questioned by writer Adam Chan over her extravagant gifts of water to Fantasy captain Caleb. Her swift response to accusations seemed empathetic, innocous and strong, that is untill her latest outburst betrayed her claims of innocence. 

Examining her response, one can identify two areas of  doubt:

1) There were other players who weren't in posession of water bottles. But did not receive similar treatment.

2) "Boys Being Boys" and "Girls being Beings"?-The Insanity defence?

A cause to worry

This is a manager with close associations to several players and is now according to her, scandalously linked to SuperHeroes Teamate, Taufiq Asari. Which might explain his lack of presence at the after game sessions at Picotin. It might be a cause of worry, but rest assured Fantasy 6-pack are monitoring the players and like Justice Chan mentioned, all players implicated will stand trial before a jury of their beers and be given a fair execution.

 

As for Ms Juriani Saini, 22, though the evidence is piling up, we leave it to you, her fellow Fantasy Managers, friends and fans to watch and analyse the game, judge and then punish her adequately.
